Description: Paul's letter to the Philippians has been a favorite of Christians for almost two thousand years. Its themes--joy and fellowship, love and suffering, humility and perseverence--strike responsive chords in many hearts, and the epistle's injunctions to stand firm for the gospel and to remain united in love are as relevant to believers today as they were to the Philippians of Paul's day.

In this commentary Peter O'Brien presents a rich exposition of Philippians. Based on careful historical-critical-linguistic exegesis of the Greek text, O'Brien's work is fundamentally theological and makes available to the serious student of the New Testament the fruits of recent scholarship. O'Brien examines each paragraph of the text structurally, thematically, and exegetically to determine its place within the flow of the letter's argument and in the light of Paul's purposes for writing the epistle. Topics given particular attention include background information on the city of Philippi, the letter's authorship and date and place of writing, the unity and integrity of the letter in the light of recent structural studies, the nature of Paul's opponents and the question of the Judaizers, and the place and function of the Christological "hymn" (2:5-11) within the letter.

"There can be no doubt the O'Brien's commentary on Philippians is the best available in English for careful detailed exegesis of the Greek text and judicious sifting of the interpretations of other scholars. His labors have put students of this letter in his debt for the invaluable resource he has supplied to aid their own close reading of the text."
--Journal of Biblical Literature

"The fullest work on Philippians presently available.... For balanced and complete coverage of the letter it is unlikely to have any rivals."
--The Expository Times

"This is a model commentary, carefully argued, well written, with sane judgments. O'Brien is well aware of the vast literature on this letter and interacts with it carefully; yet he has struck his own course. This is a superb guide to understanding both Paul and Philippians."
--Gordon D. Fee, Regent College
